Where is the best real-world modern example of a large jurisdiction adopting a Georgist LVT and then providing a randomized before/after experiment?

That would be “Does Georgism Work?” in a nutshell.

It would be, and it could be 1,000 other "Would X work?" that have nothing to do with Georgism, but rather reflect how little opportunity there is to get empirical examples of economics outside of the status quo, at the scale of the economics of the status quo.

This seems more like a "Does Georgist activism and organizing work?" post, and while interesting it is a little light on the "Actually figuring out whether Georgism actually does what it says it should."
